brother, if you want some scallops, pay shipping and i'll send you 5-10 pounds.

just brought home 52 pounds from the last trip we done a week ago. for me: it's kinda like if you work at mcdonalds, you don't eat at mcdonalds. prob got 100 pounds of fresh u10s (10 count), 16/20's, 25 pounds of flounder & 25 pounds of black sea bass. the smell of any seafood (except brown/white shrimp being fried) just makes me gag. i can't do it lol.

i give 95% of it away, and the wife eats the rest. walk in and the whole house smell like seafood. no thanks. it smells like money to me, not food!

this is why you buy ONLY WILD CAUGHT AMERICAN SEAFOOD. This is what we love to do, and what we go through to bring y'all fresh product! Remember, it's not called PONDFOOD.

nice size bags here in the dredges (double dredge full time boat)

literally 24/7 the operation doesn't stop. every one is shucked by hand, exactly like this!

i have THE best office in the world (ground fishing trip)

Worked for the Government for 4 years. Then was in the automotive/light truck repairs shops for 40+ years. 10 as a tech and 35+ as a service manager/advisor/writer. Then 2 years out of work during the "Oh Dumbo" economy and then I was a resident manager at 2 different self storage facilities for 4 to 5 years and now retired since 2022 and turn wrenches in my driveway but slowing down a bit on that.

Awesome. I love seafood myself. Great videos.

I’m an engineer so my work consists of sitting at a desk. My videos of my work wouldn’t be as entertaining!

i tell everybody when they ask me why i take so many pics/vids: we get paid to see what 99% of people never will. there is nothing more beautiful than the power of mother nature, especially the ocean. she has my heart. been running a boat for the past 15 years. i wouldn't dare do anything else.

i trade long term options on the side and have a little over a kilo in gold, but that's about it!

i respect the hustle/grind. a lot of people think it's "just that easy" to make an account & sell on ebay.

absolutely, you're in the perfect place for it. hell, there's nothing like that around here......at all:

I drive a truck for a septic company. I deal with shit all day. Definitely not my dream job, but I'm happy to be working. My boss is mostly a good guy, so I can't complain too much. Before this i owned my own mobile interior and bumper cover repair. 100% of my work was for car dealers and wholesaler. Before that I was a NJ State Corrections officer. Lots of stories there. Good times.
